Below is information for obtaining usage statistics from various databases.

If you've changed your login password, your Admin and Statistics passwords may now be different. The State Library can provide you with your authorization and original password by calling 800-432-3919 and asking for Jeff or Rhonda. If your Admin password has been changed in the past and you don't have it, you must email OCLC or call 800-848-5800.
